International Undergraduate Students

One of the goals of the Language Institute at Georgia Tech is to help support the international community at Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech students, whether they are native or non-native speakers of English, are expected to be able to listen to lectures, read books and articles, give formal and informal presentations, work collaboratively in teams, write papers, and produce multi-media presentations. Courses at the Language Institute are designed to help international students improve their communication skills so that they can succeed in their academic classes.

The Language Institute provides non-credit courses for international undergraduate students who are interested in improving their communication skills in English. These courses are part of our Intensive English Program and can help students improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in English. Check out our Intensive English Program page for more information about our courses. Georgia Tech matriculated students will receive a 20% tuition discount on all intensive courses.

Part of doing well as a student at Georgia Tech is communicating effectively with professors, administrative staff, and fellow students. It is important to use clear, professional communication in their academic life at Georgia Tech, from writing e-mails to creating resumes and cover letters. The Language Institute offers a series of courses on professional communication. Check out our Online Programs page for more information on our online courses.
